The electronic ignition helps improve fuel economy with a better spark for smoother acceleration. An added bonus is the hassle of replacing the points and condenser periodically is no longer necessary. Points and condensers haven't been offered in automobiles for decades as electronic ignitions simply work better. The Ignition Components fit Bosch 0231178009 & 9230081094 centrifugal (or mechanical) advance distributors as well as the various aftermarket 009 style distributors in 1954 through 1977 Beetles, 1971 through 1979 Super Beetles, 1956 through 1974 Karmann Ghias, 1955 through 1971 Type 2 Bus models and 1973 through 1974 Things.

Key Features:
This kit is for the 009 (after market) distributor on the following cars:
VW Beetle and VW Super Beetle 71-79 VW Bus 71-79 VW Karmann Ghia 71-74 VW Type 3 71-73 VW Vanagon 80-mid 83 VW Thing 73-74 In an electronic ignition system all of the spark plug firing is directed electronically. There are no moving parts in an electronic ignigion system, so nothing to wear out. The fuel and air mixture is ignited optimally so starting is more reliable in an electonic ignition system. Plugs last longer. Wear out of points, which results in decrease in "dwell" period, is no longer a problem when you install electronic ignition.However: to guard against the small possibility of a system failure (rare with our electronic ignition) which would kill the car, we do recommend carrying a set of points and a condenser.
